Flashcards for SQA National 5 Computing Science (C816 75), split into Software design and development, Computer systems, Database design and development and Web design and development, then by sub-topic, following the course specification (May 2023, version 3.0). SQL, HTML, CSS and pseudocode examples use SQA's own reference language and code conventions.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.
